The United Nations has raised alarm of the high infant mortality figures in Borno state.
A new report by the UN stated that ''an estimated quarter of a million children in Borno state, North-East Nigeria, face severe malnourishment and risk death.''
“Some 134 children on average will die every day from causes linked to acute malnutrition if the response is not scaled up quickly," said Manuel Fontaine, UNICEF Regional Director for Western and Central Africa, who just returned from a visit to Borno state. "We need all partners and donors to step forward to prevent any more children from dying. No one can take on a crisis of this scale alone."
